 CIRCUIT MEASURING DEVICES - THE MULTIMETER

Probably the most widely used piece of equipment in electronics, the multimeter is a single meter that combines the functions of the ammeter, the voltmeter, and the ohmmeter.

It is more convenient to have one meter with several functions than several meters each with a single function.

The various functions of a multimeter are selected by use of the appropriate function switch positions, jacks, and meter scales. Once a function is selected, the meter operation is exactly identical to that previously described for that particular type of meter.
